Pump Organ Song
from Orpheus Looking Back by Emma Ruth Rundle
lyrics
I raised a flag
in foreign lands
waiting for my own war to end
I took a love there
and he took my hand
but i spoke a language he could not understand
and how does it end?
We traveled in silence for years together Eating the food,
we drank the wine Everyone sayin’
we looked “light as a feather”
But silence is heavy and so is this time
and how does it end? How does it end? How does it end?
in foreign lands
waiting for my own war to end
I took a love there
and he took my hand
but i spoke a language he could not understand
and how does it end?
We traveled in silence for years together Eating the food,
we drank the wine Everyone sayin’
we looked “light as a feather”
But silence is heavy and so is this time
and how does it end? How does it end? How does it end?

May Our Chambers Be Full

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.
